Ah, good morning from the r t studio most are happy to have you join us from wherever you may be watching. Im fiorella is about with the top news stories for the social worker, 53 ukrainian prisoners of war have been killed and 75 are wounded in the shelling of a pre trial detention facility in the peoples republic. A warning, the falling images are graphic and could be disturbing. Moscow has accused jeff trips of intentionally targeting the site using american supplied hi marsh Rocket Launcher sanky of attack was aimed at intimidating. Any ukrainian troops to wanna lay down their arms here. Meanwhile, claims Russian Forces target at the prison. So moscow could accuse ukraine of war crimes and hide quote, the torture of prisoners of war. Those wounded in the its half were taken to a diagnosed City Hospital where some have already undergone surgery. One fighter from ukraines notorious as off battalion who was undergoing treatment there. Right now, share details of the attack with us. With virtue at approximately midnight, a shell hid the place where we were. It all happened very fast. The 1st strike was literally next to us, and the 2nd was right were relieved. The bless was so strong and powerful. Everything caught fire. We started to get out. I started to get out. I felt a severe pain in my stomach and fell to the ground waiting for whatever would happen next. Every one, if it was possible for them, started to leave with those who were able to help helping others. I was unable to. I was locked in pain. I was just trying to get out earlier, my colleague donald quarter, interviewed canadian general us eva bartlett, who was also at the scene of fridays attack. This is clearly an intentional strike on this facility. And its notable by the way, i went to the a hospital that was treating some of the injured after going to this prison. And although we werent able to go inside to see the prisoners, they were in Critical Condition. A doctor did come out and give a statement and he said that the prisoners are in Critical Condition and they are undergoing surgeries, theyre being given the medicine and the care that they need. And now i just want to point out the irony that russia is giving these cranium presents of, or medical treatment. No matter. You know, in spite of the fact that these are enemy combatants. And it is ukraine that is caused, that is inflicted there of potentially mortal injuries on them. Heres a perfect example of an out war crime committed by ukraine with western weaponry. And it is russia that is mopping up the mass. How do you think this incident is going to affect the morale among ukrainian troops currently in combat . Well, i mean, we seen many videos being shared on social media on telegram, et cetera of ukrainian troops saying like we dont have support from you know, our commanders were being or in some cases were being fired upon by our own army. Were being deserted, were being sent out front lines who are not equipped to fight our being sent to our death. So i, i would say their morale was probably already quite low, but i mean, this is just the next blow. I mean, they, even, they were again, ironically in safe hands in russian imprisonment because they were being kept safe, they were being fed, et cetera. But nonetheless, theyre targeted by their own government. I mean its, its, its, i cant imagine they could have any morale at this point. Weve seen similar things in syria. We, we had in syria on the terrorist. Whether there are al qaeda for syria, army, isis, et cetera, intimidating civilians from it wouldnt be the same as surrendering. But from crossing from terrorist held areas into searing government areas are intimidating down by threats that the government would rape or execute them. So we, and weve seen the same kind of strategies that have played out in syria, are being played out in ukraine. The ukranian president s office has accused russia of orchestrating the attack and called on the u. S. To designate the country as a state sponsor of terrorism, thats just as the u. S. Senate passed as a non binding resolution on the charge elena, of an act of terrorism by the russians. They launched a strike on the facility where ukrainian prisoners of war soldiers as all fighters were being held. Now they are trying to lie by blaming ukraine. Bidens administration has been eager to label russia as a state sponsor of terrorism, accusing it of such activities in ukraine, which moscow has refuted nancy pelosi. One of the biggest supporters of the allegation has been pressuring anthony blanket on the topic. But the official power to designate another country as long as such belongs to the u. S. State department. We spoke to International Criminal lawyer, Christopher Black, who says the accusation is your quote, fake news conjured up to give the us the greenlight to americas objectives. The timing of the just attack this murder of their own troops as prisoners or, or the day after a few days after the resolution was passed and the u. S. Senate is so striking. So, but nobodys going to believe that the russians attack their own camp and it would kill, or we injure their own personnel regarding and taking care of that camp administrating this insane. No. Was going to believe that story. So its quite clear that the key of regime is willing to murder its own soldiers to create propaganda. But yeah, i think the, they probably will put rashana on that list. I dont think it means much practically in practical terms to russia right now because there is, as obviously as a war going on between United States and russia. But russia is not the only country dealing with such allegations. Former president , donald trump put cuba on a list of sponsors of terrorism, the subsequent economic sanctions aggravating. He was already humanitarian crisis. Again, Christopher Black says that the u. S. Itself should be labeled a terrorist state given its history. Peer has been under attack now since the revolution took place in 1959. And as you know, there was an invasion attempt in 61 of our withdrew the designation briefly, trump reimpose did. I did not see any inclination for them to remove it. Now, theyre trying to squeeze cube or even worse, and theyve done in the past of the situation in cuba is very dire right now. Actually as an act of terrorism, against the cuban people, to designate that because it allows under american law, which is a legal way to impose all sorts of Economic Warfare on the people of cuba and make their lives a complete misery in the hope that they will rise up and overthrow the socialist government in cuba and put it back under the american, under american controls. And this is never gonna happen. So with the Economic Warfare is going to continue and every other type of work that they can use against cuba hand, russia will continue. Meanwhile, fighting continues on the front lines of the don bass with Ukrainian Forces contributing to show the city of don. Yes, from the nearby city of, of the are to the roman culture of joins they don, yes, peoples Republic Unit called sparta, that has been countering key of forces for the last 8 years. We are in a front line and done at airport along with the commander of the legendary sparse battalion. How to jump yoga. And right now hes going to show us the positions of the Ukranian Army, which are a mere kilometer away from where we are at the moment, not to start any opportunity. The enemies on the other side, when they have concentrated their large forces, cold up their reserves, and are shelling, municipal buildings, schools, kindergarten, so ordinary city buildings, their hit and the infrastructure of the city decided you were now at the front line where you can hear the shelling but its not aimed at us. They are not interested in us. I was, they are shelling civilians. Mm. With currently heading up to one of the hubs or ration points here at the desk airport from where we should get a very clear view of whats going on. On the other side, the standoff between the next Peoples Republic Army and the ukranian nationalist forces have been going on here at the desk airport for the last 8 years. Ukraine has fortified his military positions, which are at the moment, mere kilometer away, can see the smoke arising. And this is the result of artillery all for the next peoples republic who are pounding ukrainian positions on a daily basis. However, as i understand ukraine have cemented themselves on those positions and continue striking peaceful civilians of dont ask young please to proceed with those. With the neo nazis are simply trying to destroy civilian and faster using western nice a weapons. He was, they are showing the infrastructure were trying to beat us, put pressure on us from, bless, trying to kill the soldiers more trying to kill civilians. Ukrainian army is a shedding the city of dennis from of dave god. And from a pesky gun ask is just the kilometer away to my right. And right here in the middle is the done ask international airport, which shows back in 20 minutes and cost about a 1000000000. 00 to build right now. It lies in the ruins, and that remains one of the main positions from where the legendary sparta battalion are defending their citizens. For one call for f r t, done as to peoples republic. Amid the ongoing shelling of non military targets by kev rushes onward to the un says the supply of u. S. Weapons, ukraine makes western countries complicit and more crimes. But i would like to draw the attention of the western delegations to the facts of the long range artillery provided by the us. Allow Ukrainian Armed forces to reach areas behind the lines and the don bus without any military logic and exclusively for the purpose of vengeance. And terror against civilians, the representative of ukraine try to shift the blame for this attack on the attachment facility to russia. Now he spent his time simply attacking russia and making accusations against russia. When he addressed the security council, there is nothing that would deter russia from killing and destroying there is no un chart of russia or no geneva conventions for russia. There are no moreover strains to mr. Lowell. Now, the ukrainian represented it was asking for more weapons to be provided to ukraine by the nato, a line Country Representative of russia pointed to the weapons that were used in the recent deadly attack. And pointed out that these weapons that the United States is supplying to the government of ukraine ended up in the hands, often of terrorists and extremist groups. And that there is a real threat to Global Security with the continued inflow weapon from the wagon into the hands of Ukrainian Government and military with the Law Enforcement agencies of hungary. In slovakia found the whole arsenal of sniper rifles, machine guns and explosives and the Hungarian Settlement of reika located. And i was dr from the main international. The solomon site in vienna, according to the detainees weapons were delivered to ukraine, intended for Ukrainian Arm formations, and then sold and delivered to the european union. United states and china both addressed the security council, presenting very different views of the conflict. For those countries which say that one Country Security should not come at the expense of anothers. What exactly do you call Russias Armed invasion . Norman invasion of his neighbour, disdaining attempts at a peaceful resolution by silencing its guns withdrawing his forces and in, in bracing diplomacy. For countries which call for all parties to embrace diplomacy without naming russia, let us be clear. Russias ongoing actions are the sole obstacle to a resolution to this crisis. At a time when the International Community is in dire need of unity and co operation to overcome 2 difficulties together, its extremely irresponsible and dangerous to quinn to their cold war mentality. Unblocked politics promote decoupling and small yard unheard of funds to politicize instrumentalists and weaponized, economic and trade exchangers to coerce other countries to take size and to deliberately create division and confrontation. We are differences express between major countries at a meeting of the un security council. The Sales Team Member body that leads the united nations, thera flounders cor, director of the international. I think center activist group says the main reason though it continues its arm supplies is to damage russia from the very beginning and for the past 8 years. This has been a war on the civilian population. Its been on war 2 in every way. Use ukraine as a proxy force against russia as a way of breaking relations of russia with europe as a way of reinforcing nato and the casualties. The impact on the civilians is not even a calculation. It is a calculated use of terror on some of the things and its happened again and again, every stage of this war. And now we see the full harv, its, its children, its seniors, its those who are stayed behind who are being actually targeted, not the military forces who are able to defend themselves. But this has been true throughout the war. And these are u. S. Supplied nato supplied weapons and training. And its escalating daily. Germans are starting to literally see and feel the Energy Crisis was streetlights being switched off along with a toilet paper shortage. As europeans hunker down for a cold winter, due to reduced Energy Imports from russia over the e is own sanctions, are t contributor rachel mars than has more citizens of countries in the european union, and are already getting a taste of what life could look like under energy restrictions, even though the real crunch isnt expected until the Colder Weather arrives later this year. But all ready, power rationing is popping up in some pretty surprising places as the eas sanctions against russian gas start to bite back well against europeans and russian energy. Giant gas krom also reduces flow through its north stream one pipeline by 80 percent of usual capacity. Citing maintenance issues, fear has said in among german officials, given the countries heavy reliance on russian gas in the city of hanover, for example, uses of public pools and gems risk finding. The water ice here than usual. And well have to take cold showers after their work out. As city officials start imposing heating restrictions on pools and showers and public facilities. Frankly, it sounds like a great vacation destination for a competitive swimmers like me who always find public pools of certainly overheated so see as soon hanner, but it would be amusing to see france try that. As it takes nearly, he waive for many french to even remove their scarves. So your mileage may vary on these restrictions and dont even think of diving into a public fountain instead of a cool german pool. The city said that its turning those off to save energy. The goal is to reduce our Energy Consumption by 15 percent. This is a reaction to the impending gas shortage, which represents a major challenge for the municipalities, especially for a big city like hanover berlin is also stopped lighting its monuments by the way. So 15 percent is the gas reduction target set by the u commission, but never states including france, spain, ireland, greece, malta, cypress portugal and others want exemptions in the event that push ever comes to shove and it becomes binding. And over in bavaria, paper manufacturing officials or warning about the crunch, potentially leading to toilet paper shortages. Yeah, you heard that right . Real ones. This time apparently. So for our germans who irrationally ran out and t, the shelves of toilet paper and supermarkets, like pretty much everywhere else in the western world. Right. As cove id sat in, maybe youre a little tester on, there wont be wasted. After all, many employees in my company are already very worried. I cant blame them because if we can only produce 50 or 60 percent, the operation is not worthwhile for us. To be honest, i worry too. Meanwhile, lafayette seems to be falling discreetly in the footsteps of hungry, whose Foreign Affairs minister has already into new deals with russia for more guests in defiance. If you sanctions, lobbyist, main gas distribution operator is now admitting that its also buying gas from russia just not from gas from latvia is purchasing gas now. Yes. But not from gas prom because there is no way for us to pay gas prom. We have a different supplier, its kind of like france maintaining liquefied natural gas imports from russia in massive quantities. Since the onset of the ukraine conflict, there is a public noise that some you countries are making about the need for unity and solidarity against russia. But while some countries are putting the sanctions into squeeze on their own people, others are already quietly going their own way. O. U. S. Foreign policy is again under the microscope after an alleged plan to smuggle guns to haiti as Church Donations left many people furious. The incident took place on july 14th. One custom says it sees more than 20 weapons and around 15000 rounds of ammunition in a container set from the u. S. To the Episcopal Church of 80.
